Got home late last night, and I wanted a snack before I went to bed...looked in the cabinet...soup, no...chili..no..pancakes thats it..no..there was a can of Hormel Tamales...thats it...tamales. So I opened the can of tamales to dump them into a pan and out popped 5 cute little tamales...5??!!! that ain't right...looked at the can again,photo on the front of the can shows the suggested serving with 6 tamales, turned the can around and read the info on the back label...number of servings per can 3...number tamales per serving 2...3 times 2 thats six...How come my can of tamales has only 5 tamales thats like 2 and a half servings...photo shows 6, serving info indicates 6... I have been robbed! Hormel you owe me one tamale..UPS, FedEx. US Mail...special courier ...I want my missing tamale

Once after I received my hamburger fro our local A&W I got out of my car, holding up the other cars, went inside to complain that my sandwich didnt look like the picture shown on the ordering kiosk. I was told there was nothing they could do. I could lump it.

I don't go there any more

Too bad, too as that's the only drive through burger jointing town. There is a McDonalds but I refuse to eat a sandwich from them. As they have no taste. I doo go to our Sonic Drive in

The law requires that the actual product be photographed for advertising use, and a Home Economist and a Food Stylist must be on the set. The former makes sure that the food is prepared in strict compliance with the recipe and Federal nutrition guidelines (no additives, preservatives, artificial coloring, shaping, etc.), and the latter stages and styles the product to make it look it's mouthwatering best via garnishes, props, and composition only.

In fact, for most liquor shoots, an attorney or paralegal must be on the set to ensure that there is literally no more than 2 oz. of the booze used in any given setup — and the only artifice allowed for beverage shots are lucite ice cubes and extra moisture on the outside of the glass or container.

If fast food chains had HEs and stylists on staff — or professional gourmet chefs — to prep every burger they sling, you'd have to place your order a day or two in advance and pay $300 to have your meal rendered photogenically.

Want presentation? Eat at the Four Seasons. Want a burger and fries for $5, suck up the ugly.

"If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world but not with Republicans? Maybe he’s not the problem."

Be as it may. I understand you are in the business, but come to my local A&W, order a papa burger. Look at the ingredients of what they give you: Notice the thin strip of lettuce, the also thin and small slice of tomato. Notice the equal amount of onion. Then notice how they slapped it haphazardly together. Hold that up to the image on the sign which shows the generous amount of lettuce . The large thick slice of tomatoes extruding enticingly around the burger with onion etc. all of this between plump buns.

This is the reality of it .

And this crap about giving them a by because its only $5 bucks. It might be, but that's not a reason not give value for customer.

Another time I bought hamburgers and fries and drinks at both our Sonic and A&W . Took them home where I weighed them then gave a taste test to determine the "best" buy. They were different but I can't recall which was a better value.
